Checking in from Los Angeles

First of all I have to say, this is probably the WARMEST welcome I've ever enjoyed on any web forum, ever! Thanks for making me feel so welcome



Hey there autoxcuda, WLA to Simi is quite a stretch, how do you manage that? I am actually in Santa Monica, the car is in Van Nuys and my bodyman shooting buddy is in Thousand Oaks, I get around a bit too... YES there are two 340 manifolds installed, drivers side is funnly looking swooped up like that to clear the steering gear but what ever; the passenger side manifold looks more normal. Not sure about the rear end yet but I got a spare Dana 60 off a different A body in the deal with a posi third member, think I'll build that one. I haven't checked yet but the seller "thinks" the rear end is an 8.25" with 3.55 gears, we will find out tomorrow. I have been going to Spring Fling for over 10 years, my friend in Van Nuys live 2 block from woodley park, always love going to car shows, see you there this year?

I do outside sales half the week in LA then the rest in Ventura country. I grew up in W.LA all my life; went to Uni High and John Burroughs. Parents still live there (I'm here right now). I own a place in Simi Valley now though.

I'm always at the Spring/Fall Flings. I'm the president of the Chrysler Performance West Car Club that puts on the shows.

If the rear is a 8.25 is was swapped in. But if it's original it's most likely a 7.25.
